I saw this in Bearwood today. I thought it was brilliant and suited the drift of this thread.

If MA builds it he should ditch the ditch finders.

I had to check it out... interesting history.

Seems to be a time machine too looking at the mileage records.

Kind of cool though.

So Mansory use Sikaflex to stick all their carbon tat on.

327k views an hour after release. There’s no doubting this project is working for Mat’s channel.

He knows what he's doing and knows that the crazier the buys and rebuilds the crazier the views. Spend money to make money and all that.

It's going to be a journey seeing where it all ends up. I wish him all the best and hope he keeps growing as he shares two of the same passions of mine in bikes and cars then on top of that he just seems like an all round good guy.

It’s nice to see a British guy getting some traction in this genre. I watch Hoovies Garage, Vice Grip, Rich Rebuilds, Tavarish, Coffee Walk, Inja and Legit Street Cars and the crossover seems to be a way of generating views. Give MA his dues he will have a go at most stuff.

That's some impressive progress he's making on that Rolls. I'd be interested to know if he keeps a tally of his hours spent working on these cars to work out how much garage labour he's saved.

Only interesting if you compare it against the income lost through getting someone else to do it rather than him doing it himself and making videos out of it for his almost 3 million subs to watch.

The whole point of his channel is him repairing things himself....

He’s not just getting some traction. His videos generate view that most of those in your list can only dream of.

Good to see him use weld through primer and waxoil after all the comments on the M3 rebuild.

Is there any third party tuning house that actually does high quality work - maybe Singer for Porsche?

I know HKS stuff was pretty poor on Evos- mild steel, restrictive exhausts, poor design of air filters.

I hope he has a team helping him, or he'll burn himself out.

Searching for parts isn't a 5 minute job.

Editing video isn't a 5 minute job.

Running a business isn't a 5 minute job.

Spannering on the cars is probably the least time-consuming part of the whole enterprise.

I thought the same. They must laugh themselves to sleep flogging that tat to footballers.

Great watch again though, Mat has a real talent for putting a video together, the editing and production is excellent.

I assumed that his Consigliere / Cameraman and Hannah helped him out on that front
